Your game is not played, because you have no files on your project. You are not at the point where small details like a game engine would matter in any way.
What? No, you decide on which game engine you use before you invest years of your time making the game. You upload your game after you invest years of your time making the game, when you actually have something to show.
Getting back to the issue at hand, I’ve played lots of RPGMaker games that I’ve really enjoyed, along with a few that I didn’t particularly enjoy. So if anything, I’d say that RPGMaker is a plus for me. That said, stock RPGMaker combat tends to suck, and many of my favorite RPGMaker games either heavily customized the combat or left it out entirely.
To the Moon is great. Lonely Wolf Treat is great. A Bird Story is great. Embric of Wulfhammer’s Castle is great. Ara Fell is great. Ao Oni is great. Rakuen is great. It’s games like these that I associate with the RPGMaker name. I’m sure lots of crap exists as well, but I rarely encounter it, and when I do, it doesn’t stick in my memory.
